The Focal will have better SQ. It's a Focal. We all know more expensive brands sound better. You should buy it now.

I hate when a nap makes you feel worse than you did previously.

I wouldn't put anything in a category with the W7. It's just in it's own world, still a decade after it's introduction. Now, there are many other subs capable of contending with it and some outperforming it depending on how you want to measure it. With that being said, I don't see a reason not to include the Icon here aside from the fact that it does not have the full displacement potential of the Havoc and W7, but that will be negligible when listening. A mic may pic it up, but that is pointless unless speaking in terms of SPL measurements which are themselves pointless in determining the worthiness of a driver for anything other that SPL competition.

Cheaper is not always better, but to each its own.

I have 2 bc2ks and they are awesome amps. I'd go with the crescendo because it's a little bit cheaper.

Flip a coin if price is not an issue. You won't hear a difference between either one, just pick an amp.

i wouldn't waste money on them. leave them disconnected. proper install upfront will sound fine to those sitting in the back seat.

I've never heard the Ascendant, but have owned a couple W7s and they are excellent woofers. Given you're paying the same for either, I would buy the JL.

They are both good quality amps. I'd get the alpine solely bc it's brand new.

I talked to Mike and he's a good guy. He helped me get an alt for my trailblazer. 275a. It was awesome and was a tank! Good product and good guy. From what streetlegal posted, here is the website he got it from. You can use it to help you with other configurations also. That way you wouldn't have to wait for others to respond and have any confusion. http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp
